brace really helped early days of recovery.
most swelling and bruising gone now. 90% ROM back. minimal impact on running or riding. strength in super-flexed position still 50%. but taking flag off since i don't have to baby it any more.

It probably would have paid to have run it under cold water even longer and then iced it up each day for a few more days to stop the blistering. Also would have helped to have bandaged it while exercising. It's still peeling and not 100% but doesn't hurt anymore.

just a sprain but it hurt like hell and it was agood idea to go to AandE to get it checked out and put in a splint... Doctor prodded it and proclaimed it fine but to avoid using it intensely for a few days. So i am going mountain biking tommorow.

Ibuprofen helped. The warmth of Florida (Tampa Bay April 8th - 12th, 2011) seemed to losen it up. Paddle on April 8th - focus on arm/wrist straight did not aggrevate it. Following day injury felt better and got progressively better over the course of the trip

Bike crash, broke thumb and injured wrist before I fell off bike!!Took 5-7 weeks to discover the thumb was broken and that a long standing injury to wrist had been damaged again. Thumb should have been splinted for 4-6 weeks, but wasn't, this may even have speeded up recovery and fortunately the unstable bone fragments did not move significantly. Rest, ROM, exercises with physio putty and cycling! - as advised by specialist to really work the thumb after 6 weeks. Getting less painful to write...

After the problem with my knee and with my back this problem faded into the background and I pretty much forgot about it. For me, that's a cure. Still seems a little sore from time to time but I don't find myself compensating at all.

I still do not have the full range of motion I once had, but it no longer bothers me in day to day activities. I have continued to push it beyond its current range of motion with hopes that I will someday push the bone fragment out of the joint and recover my full range of motion.

Forgot to record when this stopped. I peg it around late August though. Just had to let it rest as much as possible. Comes back from time to time with renovation work. Lots of gripping heavy things tightly is a problem.

is probably a rotator cuff tear.... went therapeutic route rather than surgery... took a full 11-12 months for full recovery... now doing weight vested pull ups at 140% of body weight and other arm-intensive strength work without any discomfort of side effects
